Jules Chéret (31 May 1836 – 23 September 1932) was a French painter and lithographer who became a master of Belle Epoque poster Art. He has been called the father of the modern poster. As his work became more popular and his large posters displaying modestly free-spirited females found a larger audience, pundits began calling him the "father of the women's liberation." The women of Chéret's posters are joyous, elegant and lively—'Cherettes', as they were popularly called. It was freeing for the women of Paris, and heralded a noticeably more open atmosphere in Paris where women were able to engage in formerly taboo activities, such as wearing low-cut bodices and smoking in public. These 'Cherettes' were widely seen and recognised, and a writer of the time said "It is difficult to conceive of Paris without its 'Cheréts'.
